THE HENRY III FINE ROLLS PROJECT

There is a fine roll for each of the fifty-six years of Henry III’s reign and the current project aims to publish those from 1216 to 1248. (further funding will be sought to publish the rolls to the end of Henry’s reign) The fine rolls contain offers of money to the king for a multiplicity of concessions and favours, as well as a great deal of other material. They are of the first importance for the study of political, governmental, legal, social, and economic history (link).
